Sevilla manager, Berizzo survives prostate cancer

The La Liga club’s medical department made the announcement on Tuesday.

Berizzo had last week diagnosed with cancer just hours after Sevilla staged a remarkable comeback against Liverpool in the Champions League.
“The recovery period of the Argentine coach will depend on the post-operative evolution in the coming days,” A statement released by Sevilla read.

Berizzo recovery period will depend on his post-operative progress in the next few days.

During Berizzo’s absence, his assistant, Ernesto Marcucci, will be in charge of first-team affairs.

Marcucci’s first match at the helm comes on Wednesday against Cartagena in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey.

Sevilla hold a 3-0 advantage over their Segunda Division B opponents from last month’s first leg.
